Correct answer: D — Treat all household contacts simultaneously

The best answer is “Treat all household contacts simultaneously”. All household and close physical contacts should be treated simultaneously because asymptomatic infestation can persist during the incubation period and cause reinfection. Environmental laundering and application instructions are also important. Waiting for symptoms or visible burrows misses pre-symptomatic carriers.
